Do you keep them in your IDE, or elsewhere? Do you have an app for that? Are they easily shared?

I realized I have no system at all but could use one to make it easier to find code I’ve written and might need again some day.

By snippets, I am referring to any chunk of code / text in any format or language, of any length.

Thanks!

EDIT A DAY LATER: Thanks you all! Reading all these ideas, I got inspired to create my own little web app. Wish me luck… :)

    I mean, I get it. But… damn… can you imagine the relative computing power required to read a text file versus asking a LLM to generate that same text?

      Ok.right in the feels.

      To be honest, I try to search before on stackoverflow most of the time, due to the ability to write a few keywords and get a suitable answer versus formulate a prompt for the LLM.

      But on the other side, llms are used for so much bullshit and invaluable prompts that my questions for helping me in my job has a more worthwile argument.

      But of course it is a problematic topic related to llms.

        Haha no worries mate I totally get you. One of the best things about LLMs when I’ve played with them is it exercises my ability to write questions and requirements
